Unearthing Jenny Greenteeth

Poor poor Jenny G....so neglected....I never did finish the sculpt, she sat under a plastic bag for years until one day the oil in the clay broke down the wood blocks in her feet and she just fell over. And shame on me, I left her like that. Thankfully the feet are whats left to do, so no major damage to fix, except to somehow rig her up while I finish the sculpt. Also.....she's filthy....gonna pop her in the fridge to harden her and then give her an alcohol wipe sponge bath...

I am Jeffrey Roché...

...an artist, exploring techniques in any and all media, though some of my favorites include charcoal, acrylic & oil painting, and woodcut printmaking. My focus over the past five years or so has been stop-motion animation, which draws on every ounce of my creativity, from sculpting and painting to photography, and everything in between.

No matter which medium I am working in, my themes remain consistent. I consider myself to be a Modern Magical Realist, incorporating magical or mythical elements into otherwise everyday settings and situations. Magic exists in the mundane, all around us in daily life, but especially here in New Orleans. There is a mystical vibe in this city that inspires me as an artist. I've felt it all my life, under the moss-covered oaks of City Park, on the wrought-iron balconies of the French Quarter, near the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, or amidst the cold marble of Lafayette Cemetery.
